Covering from a broken left thumb. Per Rappaport Edelman's injury occurred three weeks ago while playing catch, and Michael Thomas, wide receiver from New Orleans Saints, did not report for the start of Saints training camp on Thursday. That's also according to Rappaport, Thomas has been in negotiations with the Saints for weeks, but apparently he's not showing up until

a deal gets done. He's reportedly seeking upwards of twenty million dollars annually in contract talks that would make him the highest paid receiver in the NFL in Major League Baseball, X rays have comeback negative on Enrique Hernandez hand. Matt Carboner will remain on his rehab assignment through the early part of the weekend as the current to Colonel's manager Mike Schilt, and finally, Jeff McNeil will be out of the Mets line up on Thursday due to what the

Metropolitans are calling heavy legs. I'm Dan Strafford. This has been your Fantasy Sports Radio Network news update. Stay tuned to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network for more updates. At the top of every hour see it to tenaity Yeah, that's welcome your bag, your host five eight from mine, yours five died from St. Francis Practice standfall, ladies, and tell me your BFS. Our Number two of the BFF is the Action Our Live. You're on Sports Grids of

Fantasy Sports Network. Frank Stample, gregg Susman Eric Young still around as well, because we're not done with our preview over the Kanzie City Chiefs, a team that was just one game away from the Super Bowl. Guys, we're talking toy Riekiel and Travis Kelsey before the top of the hour, I want into Damian Williams next. I laughed admittedly when our our buddy Mike Florio was all stoked about Damian Williams is like a late rank keeper, like he's had

an extenture or whatever. Like, dude, there's no money here, who cares. It doesn't mean anything. He could get cut. He's gonna be a backup. They're gonna draft somebody else. They didn't do any of that. All they do is bring in what looks to be and over the hill Carlos Hide. Everybody knows I love Carlos Side, loved them with the Niners, drafted him with the Browns. Didn't do much with the Jaguars. I'm a Carlos Hide guy, and

I think he very well could value this year. They've done nothing in any way to make it seem like Damian Williams is not the guy. For the most part, Andy Reid has his guy, and as e Y said earlier in the show, we should all thank our cells in fantasy, but both four and he read because he makes it easier for us. Before Kareem Hunt, there are plenty of other running backs in Kansas City that has success. After Kareem Hunt. You look at what Spencer where did

and then Damian Williams. David Williams seems to be the guy, But gentlemen, I don't think he's being drafted as the guy much like I liked James Conner, or like James Conner, I should say the end of the first round, I probably should like Damie Williams just as much. I mean, you're in this offense is the best offense in the NFL, and I draft Carlos high my last round pick, which is what I need to do. Looking at where he's going, I think I haven't actually looked, but seemingly I'm fine,

Like what is there not to like. Gentlemen, Frank, I'll start with you about Damie Williams. The fact that he is a twenty seven year old journeyman. I think that creeps into the back of your mind that he's, you know, been on multiple teams where he hasn't necessarily been used. But look down the stretch, he looked amazing. You can run between the tackles, he can run outside, he's got speed, he's got hands, he can catch the ball. He was

awesome down the stretch. I mean those final three weeks of the season he was the RB two overall, and then he was awesome during the playoffs as well. I mean the final three weeks of the season and the two games of the playoffs that he played. Those five games combined, he averaged thirteen point eight carries per game, five point six targets per game. I mean that's right around, you know, opportunities, running back opportunities there in the best

offense in the NFL. Like, I think the reason why he goes in the middle of the second round, I've seen him go as high as like the twelfth overall pick, is because I think that there's a wide range of outcomes here when it comes to Damian Williams. I think if you told people at the end of the year that Damian Williams finishes a top five running back, they

wouldn't be surprised. I think if you told them at the end of the season Damian Williams was the biggest bust of the fantasy football season and finished outside the top thirty running back X, that wouldn't surprise people either. But everything that they've said in the offseason, everything that they've done. They bring in Carl's Hyde, who they've already talked about, there's there might be a chance he gets cut before the end of training camp. All they did

with they drafted Darwin Thompson. I believe in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, everything they've done has lent itself to they trust Damian Williams as the guy. And because of that, I too, am trusting him as a mid second round pick. I have him ranked just behind Dalvin Cook and Nick Chob. I have him as my RB twelve, so he is he's a low nd RB

one and Andy Reads. You know history of having workhorse running backs Kareem Hunt, Jamaal Charles before that, Lashaw McCoy when he was in Philly, Brian Westbrook when he was in Philly. I mean he has a history of having workhorse running backs. Everything that they've done lends itself to Damian Williams being the guy that being said, Greg, there is I believe a wide range of outcomes. It's a

high risk, high reward play. I think it's a fair point where you have him around running back twelve or thirteen Dalvin Cook and chub that area before you get to the Aaron Jones Marlon Max squad a little bit later on, early in the third round. E y, is there any reason for you to be nervous when it comes to Damian Williams. No way, I got them really high. Um,

look at I think that would surprise most people. I I It even kind of surprised me when I was looking up earlier this year wondering about like, I mean, listen to me, uh, I worry about size when it comes to full time starting backs, taking the punishment, taking the hits, getting smacked into. Even when you're blocking, these guys get hurt. That's that's why running backs are are are interchangeable. Damian Williams has been a career backup, but

you're the backup until you're not. Andy Reid, who is the head coach and the offensive coordinator, who's going to be calling the plays and and and set something up. They both said Damien Williams is the starting running back. That doesn't mean that Carl's is not going to get some use, but Damian Williams is going to be the guy. I believe that the Kansas City Chiefs are the top offensive in the NFL. And getting I mean, look, he's going to run, he's going to catch passes, he's going

to do everything. Um I got him? Um, where do I got him? Here? Sixteen? So one he's my running back, ten, running back ten And there you go. He has e y has sixteenth overall, so an early second round pick. Again, I've seen him go as high as pick twelve. This is what we talk about when we say, you know, if you want to draft early and you can get those values. I did a draft, I think maybe a month or two ago, where I got Damian Williams in

the third round. That's not happening anymore. You have to use a mid second round pick, maybe even an early second round pick. If you're picking at twelve and you really want Damian Williams on your team. You know, damn straight, he's not making it back to you at the end of the third round. So if you want him, you're

going to have to take him there. I mean, there's a lot of upside here obviously in the Chief's offense, Greg, every single thing I think the most impressive part to me, Greg, every single thing that they threw at Damian Williams last year he reached onto two positively. He was great at running the ball again between the tackles. He can bounce it outside. He has speed, he can catch the ball, he has great hands. He's a good route runner as well.

And also it doesn't surprise me one bit that Adam Gates didn't know what he had in in Damian Williams when he was a Miami Dolphin. Greg Well, I was always annoying Jets head coach and Adam Gaze I was only annoying that he would played Damian Williams and said Kenyan Drake. Now Callum bloss over Kenyan Drake. He's going great. Great, say break, we'll come back. We'll wrap things up with the Chiefs. Will wrap things up with e. While we're getting Sammy Watkins. Uh, and we'll close this thing out.

Sean Guastamakia at the window comes your way next, we're going making your way through the Chiefs gentlemen. And that brings me to Sammy Watkins. Eric, I forget Are you a Sammy Watkins guy? Um? I don't think so. Uh. He might be just be too insane for me to pick. Okay, Frankie, I like the value that you're getting Sammy Watkins at

right now. Obviously, when everything was up in the air with Tyreek Hill, he was going in the fourth round of drafts. But now you're getting him in the sixth the seventh round of drafts, and again it's just trying to have as much exposure to this Chief's offense as you can possibly get. And last year when he was healthy, which I realized, you know, you put a little asterisk there because you know, when is Sammy Watkins actually healthy? But through the first nine weeks of the season, he

ranked as the wide receiver twenty five. So you know, a he was a low end wide receiver two, and he was a high end wide receiver three, and he was performing as such. And right now in the nff C a d P over the past week, you're getting Sammy Watkins as the wide receiver thirty three off the board again pick seventy five. So going in the same range as Christian Kirk, Robby Anderson, Dante Pettis, Corey Davis, will Fuller. It's an interesting range of wide receivers, no doubt,

but I think it's actually fair value for Sammy Watkins. Greg, Yeah, I'm with you. I was just too nervous to do it, man, Like I'm not in the same Watkinson here. It's very interesting cause you bring will Fuller and they're very similar because when they're both on the field, they produce and they're broll through not the number one wide receiver in

their offense. Lots of injury concerns and Fuller coming off the a c L, but he has had hamstring injuries in the past as well, and as we heard from Virginia Zakis yesterday of inside injuries, you know, there can be a lot of compensatory injuries when coming off in a c L with with hamstrings involved. So I think that's fair to say. I think Watkins and uh and

will Fuller are similar players. They both have really good quarterbacks, really good offenses that you just want as many pieces of that you could possibly For whatever reason, there's just this trust factor specifically with Will Fuller and DeShawn Watson. And it's crazy because all of his receptions are touchdowns. It's nuts. Yeah, and we're still we're waiting for it to regress, Like when are these touchdowns going to stop coming?

At some point we should just stop asking the question to be like, all right, give me as many touchdowns as I could possibly get. I'm cool with this. What do you think about that? Range? Though, Greg Dante pett Is, Christian Kirk, Robby Anderson, Corey Davis, E y, I'm sorry. I mean, I don't want anything to do with Corey Davis and the and this writings passing attack. It's just I don't I don't think that they're going to uh. I don't think that they're going to throw the ball

all that much. I think that they want to be a smash mouth football team. And uh, Honestly, they bring in a J. Brown, they bring in uh, they're bringing Adam Humphries. I think they did those things for a reason. So I kind of worry about Corey Davis. Everyone expects Christian Kirk to be the wide receiver one is he gonna be? I know, you still like Larry Fitzgerald, So I mean, there's a lot of question marks with UM. With a lot of the wide receivers going in this range,

why not take the one on the best offense. I've seen reports all day long. Story Shepherd's cashing passes a practice with a broken thumb. Yes, the top of his thumb, so he's fine. Okay, it's weird wearing his splint, but he probably shouldn't be doing that. I'm not a doctor, but that seems like a bad idea. Greg maybe the maybe the Giants hired some some folks from the Met's medical stuff. I'm becoming a little bit too predict you, I think you are. But anyway, that crew of wide receivers,

like I'll take one of them, I'm not. I don't think as high on them as you are in general, because there's a lot of there's a lot of risk there. There's a lot of risks they can get round six, round seven range. It's like that, are these are gonna be your wider sever three? So I get that where I wind up getting my quarterback now and I might skip over it. I mean, I like this range of of players. Dante Pettis I think has a lot of

Obviously he's he's he's a player man. We saw it last year down the stretch, and not on a lot of targets either. That's what it really liked about Dante Pettis. He didn't need to be a target monster to make things happen. I kind of brought this up last year.

Don't kill me for it, but he reminds me a little bit of Odell Beckham, just his ability to make plays after the catch had happened a few times last year where you know he would take these quick slants and just go straight to the house and and it reminded me a lot of Odell Beckham. So I think Dante Pettis is a player. He's very talented. Robbie Anderson has opportunity to be the wide receiver one for the New York Jets. I'm a little bit more skeptical about

Robbie Anderson. You weren't here when we did the Jets preview? What do you think, Greig? I like Robbie Anderson, man, like I if we think that Sam Donald's gonna take this step forward next year or this year, rather if there was somebody right, I mean, maybe Jamison Crowder is that guy. But like I like Robbie Anderson, I'm skeptical of the way that Adam Gates uses his wide receivers. It seems like he likes slot receivers more. They did

sign Jamison Crowder. You know everything that Robbie Anderson did down the stretch last year, No doubt he developed the rapport with Sam Donald. But down that stretch he was the only guy Quincy and Noonwall was hurt. There wasn't a Levi on Bell on the team to speak of I just I question how many targets are now in the Jets offense with with Jameson Crowder coming over Quincy and Noon a healthy signing a player of Levian Bell's caliber, like they're obviously going to use him. I'm a little

bit skeptical about Robbie Anderson. Like Robbie Anderson out of this group, but I also like Will Fuller out of this group as well. I get behind that. I don't think that Sammy Watkins is an active target of mine. I don't go into every draft sing, oh, I gotta get Sammy Watkins. But if you're in that seventh round range and guys like Kirk and Dante Pettis are gone, then I would be all right getting Sammy Watkins is

my wide receiver three or my flex option greg. Now, when the Chiefs were worrying about Fantasy Ots, worry about Tyreek Hills suspension and not worrying about it, kind of hoping for it. Um Nicole Harmon was drafted by Kansas City and because of Tyree hills imminent return, Hardman has gotta fallen off the radar, smart or not so smart for me smart, I believe that the Andy Reid offense is not an easy one to learn. Um, we know that that sometimes wide receivers can be a little slow

in the updke when they come in. And I think in front of him is DeMarcus Robinson. I think he's gonna get a real chance to play this year, Um and and and do something. I think Watkins is the two. Obviously Hill is the one, but I think, um, DeMarcus Robinson could be the third wide receiver there and really figure in this year. Yeah, this was a huge blow too Dynasty And obviously people who were drafting early on

who were excited about Micole Hardman for best ball. You know, maybe he'll pop off, you know, a few plays here and there throughout the season, but overall, yeah, it's just gonna be hard. I think the Candencity Chiefs were trying

to cover themselves if something happened to Tyreek Hill. Mcole Hardman ran the fastest forty among wide receivers in the draft this past year, a four point three three forty, So he's In't they mold over Tyreek Hill type player, someone who could just fly down the field and get behind the defense five ft ten ninety pounds, So you

know has a slight frame as well. I think that the Chiefs were really trying to cover themselves here Greg if anything happened to Tyreek Hill, and ultimately for now, as long as Tyreek Hill is not suspended, I don't really think that there's gonna be enough to go around

for Nicole Hardman. I tend to agree when it comes to Nicole Hardman, there's no reason outside of the dyning see leaves your best ball hit you know, of course, but like I worth a pick because Tyreek He's definitely worth a pick in rookie only drafts like you, you're obviously still taking me Cole Hardman. Probably rookie only drafts. Maybe late first, early second round. Something around there, something around there, all right? Any other thoughts with the Chiefs

that we missed? E y for you, not for me, I mean, just get as many pieces of this offense as possible. Uh, Sammy Watkins, I know I said I'm off of him, but I think it's mostly just because he thinks he's a lizard or whatever and the world is flat is Yeah, those kind of have anybody on my team that believes that kind of stuff, I get And I'm with you, man, um, and you want to know, Carlos I not going in the last round. He's going around like the tenth or so round. I don't even

know that he's the handcuff, Greg. Really, I think if I'm taking Damian Williams, I'm gonna wait a couple of rounds and take Darwin Thompson. I think Carl's eyes a handcuff, all right, I mean agree to disagree. Why don't you think right? No, just because the whispers and the things that I've read about Carlos Hyde potentially are are various. Now you have a little birds, yeah, you know, it's not like they're you know, screaming it from the mountaintops.

But you know, I've I've read a few things on Twitter about the potential of Carlos Hide being cut and ultimately, you just haven't really been that effective the past couple of seasons at the NFL level, Like, yeah, he was scoring touchdowns last year for the Cleveland Browns, but it wasn't running very effectively. So uh, I think Darwin Thompson is a little bit more of a player that can do both things. He can run and catch a little bit out of the backfield. We saw that last year

based on his college production. So me personally, I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer, but um I would wait a couple of rounds and take Darwin Thompson. I think he's a handcuff. All right, what do you What do you have to do this weekend? UM? Gonna flying to somewhere I can't remember where. Uh, first Mouse shows Saturday and Sunday, and then Monday Night Raw on Monday, which I probably won't be on, so don't turn in

to see me. But the show should be good. Things are uh, you know for summer Slams coming around, so it's this is a cool time of year wrestling. Um, that's what I'll be doing.

It is the bff's action our here on the Fantasy Sports Network. Yeah, last night had a dodgeball match. We won. Thank you for asking, Greg.

We are now three and one, and we all go to the bar afterwards and we play a bar game. Last night was trivia. As you know all viewers of the show listeners of the show, Greg loves trivia. I will now ask him some of the questions that I was asked last night. My team, by the way, finished second in trivia out of I think eight teams. We were close. We almost got a greig. Are you ready? This is just random stuff. How many pyramids are in Giza, Egypt? Three?

That's correct. I didn't know the answer to that. How many pints of blood are in your body? I have no idea. It's between one and ten. That's the clue that we were given. So I'll give you the same clue. Eight. That's that was our exact guess, and you're wrong. It is nine. That one stung because we guessed it and we just we're so close. Can you name the five players that had their talent stolen in space? Jam? Oh, this is great, got it right? I got all five correct? Alright?

They're only five players, okay, um, and you got you got a point for each one that you got right. So that was that was a big question for us. Muggs bugs. That's correct. Correct, Charles Barkley correct. I know that Larry Bird was in it, but I don't think you were still at the time. Oh man, Like Larry Bird is the one that comes to mind, but I don't hold on. They see one Larry Johnson. Correct. That was the one that I had the most skepticism on.

Larry Johnson. I think it's Larry Johnson. And then, oh man, this is arguably the easiest one, the easiest one. Yes, I'm giving you way too many clues. I didn't have these clues, like you didn't give you a clues on the same quote. This is the easiest one because it is, it's a great clue. If I tell you, you're gonna be mad at yourself. Relax. Relax because obviously not Michael Jordan, because his hounds were not stolen him. No, he's ezam all right, you know you know what, Ny don't say it.

Actually he looked any anyone downstairs. We've gotten four out of five? Can the four bogus? Larry Johnson, Charles Barkley, Patrick Hewing, Hwing, Um, Larry Bird goes on, but it's not Larry Bird. It's um. No, that's not right. Looking it up downstairs and guys they're failing. Alright, Craig, you run out of time? Have I run out of time? It's it run it time. I guess that was pretty quick quick trivia there. Um, I mean I have a few more. No, I don't know, I know, I know

you have more. That's fine, that's fine. It was an answer. Did any anything, No, I don't know. Sean Bradley, Greg the big, tall, lanky alien guy. I wouldn't have gotten he told he stole Sean Bradley's Sean Bradley wasn't even know my writer. There one player in sports history to win both a World Series in a Super Bowl. That's correct, I got that correct as well. Those were Those were the two contributions that I had. Let me see if I can remember any of the other questions that were asked. Um,

something about the comedy troupe that produced Bill Murray. I believe it was Tina Faye. Um, they were in Chicago, yes, Second City. Yes, Yes, we didn't. We didn't know that one. Either. You are good at trivia, look at you very good? Yeah. Yeah. There were a few things that I just I think it was either the hottest planet or the or the highest planet. I think it was hottest. The hottest planet is the one that is the closest to the Sun, which would be Uh, my answer is never right with us.

I'm very very bad at this. I always want to say Mercury. It's not Mercury, isn't it? All right? So that's where people get dooped. Mercury is the planet that is closest to the Sun and therefore gets more direct heat. But even it isn't. Whoever wrote this is very bad at English. It is not the hottest planet. That would be Venus, which we got correct. We got that one correct, was admittedly lucky. Admittedly I had no answer. Had nothing

to do with that answer. What else, Oh, the one of the main characters from Friends that appeared in the fewest episodes, who we got this one correct? All can go, by the way, the main characters of Friends that appeared in the least amount of episodes. I don't know. I want to just say it's Phoebe. That's correct. Yeah, you're pretty good. Thanks. If I if any of the other ones come to me, I'll just kind of blurt them out. I your question for you? All right? What do you

got Greg? Are you ready? Yes? Is he Jason start question the day? All right? Back to baseball? He got here, all right, Mike know once had seventeen street seasons of ten plus wins. Name the two active pitchers who have even had ten consecutive years of ten plus wins at any point in their career asterisk. Max Scherzer is one win away from having ten. So how many are there? Two? Justin? Verlander is incorrect? You already know the answers. Clayton Kershaw,

I got one of them. My answers were one of them were correct, and then my other answer was into the thing and land. Those are my guesses. Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez no cc Sobathia, Yes, that's one. Was that the one you got? Is the other one really hard? I will say active players. I will go with hm. I don't think he has the longevity Chris Sale. No, not Chris Salebathia, correct, it's not Harmon Marquez. David Price is not David Price. I'm not a bad guess. I

will had ten last year. Mm hmm not Chris Sale, said Scherzers and no, go uh. The Verlander one is really surprising. Actually, I will go with no, he doesn't have longevity everyone that I'm thinking of. It's pretty young actually, because I'm just thinking about like the early round picks and fantasy. I think I got it. Now you got John Lester is incorrect. That's a good one too, Lester Head. That's what the chat is saying, John Lester. Lester had

ten of eleven. Price and Felix both had eight. Kershaw miss last year he had eight, Verlander nine. Man, I'm kicking myself for this one right now. CC has done it. Did it thirteen row? This person did it twelve in a row, including Zach Cranky this year. That's correct, Zach Ranky. That's correct. There you go. I got it, you got you got balled, Zach Ranky. Ccs back A nice job, Frank, good job by you. Any more any more trivia from

for your side? Like your side? Uh, there was I think name the sunken ship in the bottom of the ocean in Finding Nemo. Never saw a movie. Why would you, of course a fun movie? No way, Greg would see it. Yeah, I never saw it, all right, so you wouldn't. You wouldn't have gotten that one. Someone on my team guessed it and they got it right. I've gotten it completely crazy. What else was there from last night finding Nemo space sham? There was friends, the pyramids in Egypt. I don't remember

anything right now. If it comes to me, I'll bring it back up. Anything else going on in the world of yes I as I mentioned Sterling right now, Sterling Shepherd broken film and all practicing today with the New York Giants, who well they lost another wide receiver, Corey Coleman towards a clance. Gosh, just the everything that can go wrong, we'll go wrong. So far seems that way a healthy say Kwan Barkley put this guy in a freaking bubble right now? Wait, did you guys say what?

Who's working out with the Giants? Did you mention that I was getting to that? Thank you for chiming in, uh KOI Coleman got hurt, Staring Spard hurt working out for the Giants tomorrow would be a ton of wide receivers, including Ford, Carolina Panther, Kelvin Benjamin, Kelvin Benjamin. You want to say about that? You want to add anything to that venture venture downstairs? Are you excited about Kelvin Benjamin? I like his size. He's big, but he's slow as

he's slow and he's a problem. He doesn't work out. Yeah, he doesn't work out. He's lazy, and he's also a clubhouse problem. They could use a big bodied wide receiver. Can't think, Greg, you don't feel confident? Confident in Cody Lattimer as your wide receiver? To Greg, who is your three suver to be fine? Once upon a time Cody Lattimer Remember when that was the thing Denver Broncos. Yeah, I thought he was gonna break out opposite of Damarius Thomas.

Never happened. Who else is working out with the Giants India? No report? You know one receiver I would like them to work out that Michael Crabtree. I'd like the Nework. I'd like the Nework makes sense? Did you know Michael Crabtree led the NFL and dropped passes last season? Sounds makes sense? He usually does as a category, he's usually winning. Also part of one of the best rants in NFL history, I would say, Richard Sherman very much so, very much so.

Do you know that rant turned Judy into a football fan? That makes sense? Yeah, because she likes the Seahawks. Correct, because it likes Russell Wilson. Russell will because we were in Florida at the time and we went for tacos and she got drunk on Margarite was watching this crazy game. She's like, this is wild. I love this. I love tacos. I love getting drunk off Margarite. That's right. What can

you like about that? I can see the resemblance, you know, like you've told me before that Judy thinks that Russell Wilson is this this stud hot guy that will be my next project. Making a side by side photo of Greg Susman and Russell Wilson. I could see the resemblance right now. You already photoshop whizzes. That makes not really, I mean more so Steve downstairs in the pit. So maybe I'll have Steve do it side by side, Russell wilsoning Greg and you. I was gonna I was gonna

do this off the air. I do it on the air. I'm needing some photoshop. Hell, I welcome up with some stuff because you're going on our bachelort pory next moment, so I wanna be able to send her a bunch of funny things graphics. If we could make that, that'd be great. Greg. I'm very busy, right now as you know I have, I have a bunch of stuff to edit. I'd love to help you, but sorry, but be going somewhere else, all right, right off? Uh, let's your break.

I feel like I need it now to recouper right and welcome back with some our best mester Baseball to night. Final second of the week is next.

Frank, we're doing quite well this week, Craig, not surprised that we're pretty all We are in Fuego in the MLB department. You know, I was on my way to work today and I listened to new Music Friday on my way

to work. It's on Spotify. It's all a bunch of New Music the top song three when they yeah, first song on the playlist this week, and there you go by Sean Paul's Still a Thing, Still a Thing, the bomb, it's your guy, know you know it was hilarious back when you were in junior high school in the in the eighteen hundreds. Did you ever go to a school dance and dance to Sean Paul songs? Sure? I did, Yes, I just have very vivid memories of my in my

mind of a young Frank Stafell. I don't know. I guess you can call it grinding to a Sean Paul song. It's a It's a very terrible memory, do you um. When I was in sixth grade, it was very popular. So you were in the first secondrade, right, I will go with Frank Sinatra's Where I was going with that? It was very popular. You know what everyone was wearing. I had to get a new one for our school dance sixth grade. Oh man, wow, I can only guess I'm gonna say, um, a cumberb a monocle. Actually I wasn't.

I was gonna say something serious, but then you made me say that. I had, you know, you set me up. I couldn't let you down double polos. I'm gonna go with double polos. Great, yes, but no, not a double polos. Come on, I try guys. Hawaiian shirts shirts very popular back then. All right, so we're also a thing. Back in Stranger Things, we saw a big hopper's right, I mean? And now six episodes deep, two more to go, two more to go. I'm very excited to talk with you

about this, hopefully on Monday. I've given you until Monday to finish Stranger Things, and I've already watched it twice. So so Judy last night, like we keep getting interrupted by like calls and some like my mom, her mom, um whatever, and your mom's like to talk to you a lot. It's the Jewish mother thing. Um. So we watched it. We were we we don't we did her early perfect perfect time. We watched two episodes, so we

finished the first one. It's like eleven o'clock or like, Judy, like we committed to two episodes, like I have to finish my Monday. I don't have a choice. She's like fine, so she complained during the whole second one, but we watched it. So I'm six deep, all right, Monday I'm coming in and I'm screaming the ending of Stranger Things. Whether you've seen it or not, but Voner probably hasn't watched it, and that that will be the end of

my life. Judy um smashed my head. And Judy likes it anymore, to be honest with you, she like because like the kids were cute, but now she's like, they're not cute anymore. Yeah, they're not kids. It's kind of has a very Aria type feeling, you know. Yeah, from Game of Thrones you see her as like a little kid when the show started, she's like ten years old.

Right at the end of the series, she's like having sex and so so I told you who I thought, like on a couple days ago, I thought the most annoying like two characters as far they talked to each other. We're Nancy and her mom like very out on them and every way you know what we also add on I know there's a hot dake or not. I never read anything. I hope that it's the same person that I am out on. So I don't like, I cannot stand Mike. Oh I dump your ass that Mike. Yeah

that was hilarious. Yeah, it was hysterical and eleven like dump your ass. She's great, like very very on her. Mike horrible, Yeah, he's kind of annoying. He's so annoying. Not who I was hoping you were gonna also terrible. Hopefully by the time we get to Monday we hate the same character. Mike and Will also terrible. What do you have against Will? Oh? My friends don't like me anymore where That's what I have against Will. Sorry you

didn't you can't relate it. Didn't have any issues like this when you were growing up, Greg Man, you didn't just want to play Dungeon and dragons Ball. Your friends were out getting girls. I believe you so. Anyway, the point of the story was, Um, I was in my mom's house, clear at her house when she moved. Found my three Hawaiian shirts, and I guess that they don't fit you anymore. I'd laid off they fit pretty well. You you know that you have to wear one of

those now on the episode of the show. I will also wear one of your shirts if you bring it in. Okay, I don't know, I don't know fit it won't fit me. I have no idea, Like I don't know, I don't want to say fit me well, but like they fit I don't think that they fit you well. I don't think how old were you when was this? Sixth grade? Sixth grade? Your shirt from sixth grade still fits you better than it should have. Well? Was that because the style was backing wear everything big? Now it just fits

you normally. I don't bring I don't bring two in. We will and we will wear them next week, the week, whatever you want to do it, I'm game. Whatever. Remember where Greg's sixth great Hawaiian shirts on the air. Definitely, it's gonna be a great show. It would be a very fun show if you with Flora now you revealed with datis God? What's wrong with you? Greg? Give me the same thought. Yes, I was like three shirts, three best friends anyone could ever have? Man, bring them on Wednesday.

I'll tell you why to find a Hawaiian shirt and word strikes me as a Hawaiian shirt guy. Totally. God knows they're gonna By the way, I never answered your question. I am four and three on the week in best bets, you are four and two. If you count your upset specials, you are six and two, which means combined we are ten and five in the week. We're having a great week, a great week. Let's keep it a going. Right now, our final final day of the bets, we go to

the first game all the night. It's the Reds and the Rockies, her mom, Marquees, Louis east cast theo Reds at home eight and a half of the total. Yeah, so you can actually trust from man Marquees in fantasy tonight because he will not be pitching in corps Field, pitching in the Great American small park. The total is very low at eight and a half. Marques is prone

to getting blown up, more so at cors Field. Admittedly, I like Luis Castillo on the Reds and the Reds on the money line at minus four, but that's that's a decent sized number. I might parlay that with something later on. It's not one of my best bets, but I like the Reds money line, Greg, what do you think? I think the Reds money line as well. Also not one of my best bets, but I do like the

Reds in general tonight. Yes, I agree with you. Mike Saroka is on the Mounta Phase all against Jake Arietta and the Phillies Ones in Philadelphia total here's nine and a half. Jake Arietta has been a disaster this year. He's a four point four zero e r right still eight and seven, though Mike Sarroka on the other side has been awesome. It's a very big series as well between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Philly Is. The Philly is trying to make up some ground in the

National League East. If I had to go anywhere with this game, Greg, I obviously would go with my guy, Mike Siroca minus one thirty six on the money line. The total is nine and a half. The over wouldn't surprise me either. Here Greg, it's minus one sixteen. Looks like the Reds. I like the Atlanta Braves tonight. If there's nothing else that I end up liking by the end of this, I'll make them my best bet. But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna call that out yet.

I like the Braves. Like the Braves to also not my best bet. Nothing like in the total here Uh Dodgers and nad's Animal Sanchez on the mouth of the Nationals facing off against young John u Uh. The Nationals are a bit of an underdog in this one. Yes, they're the home team in this one. Plus one forty six on the money line. The Dodgers minus one sixty eight total is nine and a half. Jinin U's fantastic season has continued into the second half here for you. Right.

I don't normally make an upset special, but this one is interesting. Annibal Sanchez has pitched well, not bad at plus one six. That's something that I'm considering right now as well. Screw it, let's go upset special. Frank Nations. They're hot right now, plus one forty six on the money line. I don't care that it's up against hingin U taking the Washington Nationals plus one six. Not my best bet, but my upset special. Alright, what do you think about that? Greg? I said, I like it all

right now. I'm not thinking like more of mine. But all right? For the Rays and the blue Jays, we had an opener for the raise Diego cast. You actually opening because Fantasy others are not gonna be happy about that. I guess he's not closing both, right, I don't know who is the Blue Jays start at night? What if they this is like so Tampa Bay Rays. They'll never do it. It would just be hilarious open him with

the game, just like stick him out in left field. Well, you know last year the other night they would do it for a few plays. I mean they you know, they would have to do it for with Diego Casio for like they did with my name, Adam claric Um.

But they is Lefty. He played first base, right relief picture another picture as Alrighty took him out, Clark went back into the mound, finished the game out, like, uh, the Red Sox are protesting this game because where he was like in the order like it wasn't he became in at one spot and it was like there's a lot of technicalities with that kind of stuff. When you move someone over to first base, a change in the battle order, it's it's very weird. So I don't know

who the Blue Jays are start. I don't know who his name is, wakes Peck. I didn't even know how to say this guy's name. But getting the raise that only minus one thirty eight in Toronto, I think that's pretty good value. Greg. Sure, there isn't really cold though they have been, but I'm not touching it. The recipe to uh turn that around face the Toronto Blue Jays a good team jacket, not one of my best bets. Zach Grinky and the Diamondbacks are in Miami to take

on Alcantara and the Marlins. D Backs are right heavy favorite with Grinky on the mound. Also want to know, speaking the Marlins, Trevor Richards is moving to the bullpen. Frank, I think that makes sense. He has not pitched well this year. He's someone that are buddy, Michael Florida. Happy birthday, Mike, I your birthday. Trevor Richards moved to the bullpen. I'm sorry, someone that he liked coming into the season. I think

we all kind of like Trevor Richards. But it hasn't worked out, so that is no surprise there, which means my guy, Zack Gallen will be sticking around in the rotation. He was masterful the other night. I really like Zach Ranky obviously for DFS purposes. Tonight it's a big number here minus one eight on the road against the Miami Marlins. Greg, how about this? Not only will I give you an upset special, I will give you a parlay special of the night. What do you like more between Mike Sarroca

and Luis Castile. You like the Braves money line or the reds money line more? I think I lean with the Braves. Okay, So you parlay the Diamondbacks money line and the Braves money line, you get that number at plus one sixty nine. That is one of my best bets to night. The Backs, Arizona and Atlanta money line parlay tonight, you get that at plus one sixty nine.

Yankees lost by a million runs last night. They play the Red Sox again, Aston, Paxton and Kashner on the maun Yankees are a slight favorite over under assist at eleven and a half. You know what I told you, Greg, I said I liked the over last night. He should have made that one of my should have made that one of my best bets. I guess you know, based on that, we should probably liked the over again tonight.

I mean, look at the past four times these teams are allowed, but the Yankee starters are the last five games. Three of those games in London. I understand it was London, but the past you know, four times really that that the Red Sox and Yankees have played now, including last night, there have just been well, I guess it was two games in two games in London and then one last night, so it's three games but a lot of runs being scored. I don't really trust Andrew Kashner. James Paxton, you could

say the same thing. He's not himself right now. He's not healthy. I think he's pitching through this knee injury. The totals that eleven and a half. It's not my best bet, but I liked the over. I liked the over against night Greig quick update from the New York Giant training camp and an ingram uh not practicing in team periods that, oh my goodness, gracious, the Mets and the PI rate Zack Wheeler on the mound. He's potential final start from the York Greg, why are the Mets

such a big favorite tonight? I understand that their home, but it's Zach Bhuler's first start off the island throwing. I understand that Dario Grazza does not strike out a lot of people. Dario Graza, he doesn't strike anyone out, but he's throwing quality starts in like his past five starts that he's made also six. I lean with the Pirates here as well. I just I don't know what the Mets have done to earn being just big of a favorite time. I like the Pirates a lot, will

make that the upset special of the night. Upset special? Alright, uh, Cuvees and brew Crew here in Milwaukee? What was it? Tell us that? What do you think? Hold on writing down your upset special pit plus six? You know, I gotta holdst accountable. I like to keep track of what we do here. Greg, who's this clubs against the Brewers total at nine and a half. Kyle Hendricks going up against Geo Gonzalez. I would like the over. Don't really like Geo Gonzalez all that much. This game is a

toss up. I don't like the Cubs money line here, Greg minus one of fours more than Geo Gonzalez. That's all. I've got. Twins and White Sox twins are heavy favorite. Dealing cease Michael Panada really like Michael Pinieta for Fantasy Baseball tonight linus one seventy just really big favorite. So you'd have to parlay this with something else as well. The next three games of the games you want to take it that, I'll tell you right now. It's the Indians and the Royals. I like Jake Junus and the

Royals tonight plus one of four. It's one of my best bets. Alrighty, next game Astros and Cardinals. Who's a your kitty, Jack Flaherty, What did I tell you? Whenever the Astros you can get them at like a money line, you take them. I like the Astros. One of my best bets. Lance Lynn Daniel Magnet Rangers or plus one of six. I like that. That's the best bet. Oh my god, you're giving out ways much today, Greg, people have to pay for this. The Houston money line that

you liked Texas Texas money line man slam. You know. I was looking into lance Lynn, but he's been blown up both starts against Oaklands and Houston money line as well. Want to they e y, I want to think Danny. Want to think venture as well. Sean Gassamaki and at the Windows next he's Frank, I'm Greg, I'm an awesome weekend. We'll do it. Only get him Monday, we hope.

Here's what you missed on the BFx.

Are you in it or out? On New Twitter? I don't know what new Twitter is or what it is. You interchange your interface change when you went when you go on Twitter right now? Um? I think so if you only use this Twitter on the phone, then wouldn't have noticed it. Why do you ever use Twitter on the on the desktop on your computer? Not? Not ever in my life, so he wouldn't notice the change? You neppen still the same, the same? Um? But Twitter I totally change. And I know that you we're supposed to

hate changing like the spies? What how intervaces changed? You are supposed to? Greg? I like it because I I don't like the new Twitter. Sander and I were talking the other day. I like it. I mean it. Why do we have to change things? I mean, Twitter was perfectly find the way on times. Sometimes it's better to change things. Change is good. The second thing is if you say so as I we as I went to the break, we were saying, hey, we're starting with the

Oakland Raiders, let's do it. Should be fun if we go to commercial. Frank goes. Just so you know, no, you weren't supposed to say this. Greg, I have zero notes on the Oakland Raiders, but I think this is gonna be our best show, and I go, I agree. James Dolan is trending on Twitter, so I'm trying to figure out what that he he threw out. He threw out somebody from his concert. That's that's why. That's so, James Dolan. Here we go, all right, Friday, let's get

into it, guys. Let's get into the Oakland Raiders. And I want to start with the biggest piece. And it was the most Raiders thing ever to do, right, go out and trade for a big time wide receiver when they probably aren't a piece of way. Now, it's like it cost them all that much, so it ultimately wound up making sense. It's Aenio Brown, the newest member of the Oakland Raiders forever and ever, the number one overall wide receiver in fantasy football, but a lot of change

for Aby. He's a little bit older, no longer in the opposite he knows so well. So my question to you, e y is which Antonio Brown are we going to get? Somebody that's any brand new offense is a little bit older with the san Antonio Brown that we've been drafting here near the top of the wide receiver rankings advantage Football for about a decade. This is following under the

court category. In the Chicken or the head you know it says it was Antonio Brown the guy that made the offense go in Pittsburgh, or was it Ben Roethlisberger or the offensive line, or was it the scheme or either the players or the players that he's with. So it's gonna be very interesting. I feel Derek Carr can't be worse than he was last year, but um, I mean, he has not been good for a couple of years. Flashes of a decent quarterback play, but for the most

parties been pretty atrocious. Um. But I'll be curious to see what happens here. I mean, I believe that uh Antonio Brown makes any quarterback better just because of his skill set. Um, he can kind of do everything is running is super precise. Uh he battles for the ball, he's going to be open, and having Tyrone Williams on the other side is a guy that I like. Doing a little later in the rounds to bron is an

interesting one. I agree with me Wine, We're gonna find out very quickly if it was up and who make the other way around? I ten to lean with like he's only talent, there's no doubt about.
